But that doesn't mean I don't agree with the Free Software philosophy coming from capitalist principles. I think that giving corporations the sole proprietorship to modify and distribute software stifles what should by all means should be freely and openly distributed.

Here's linus talking about why he underminded the FSF

notes: Open Source does not mean corporations have ' proprietorship to modify and distribute software' --i don't know where you heard that
Free Software movement does not give you more access to distribute code overall. You have to familiarize yourself with all the available licensing schemes. Many things called Free Software as in freedom, are actually less permissive. It's not free source code, you owe them back any changes.

2018-09-24 20:29:36 UTC  

Whereas with MIT license essentially all you owe them is to not remove their copyright from the original code or pretend you wrote it

2018-09-24 20:30:53 UTC  

The GPL3 is more than anything a license to protect the original author, and a set of rules and procedures you must follow in order to use his code

2018-09-24 20:34:46 UTC  

The problem with the Tivoization clause is that rather than just enforce compliance with the license, it now restricts you into the sort of product you will be allowed to release. You cant add any hardware barrier to a preconfigured linux tvbox/kiosk/etc. that keeps me from installing my own software such as a linux desktop distribution and using it as a cheap PC. It might be best to let me do this, but tbh it adds extra liabilities

2018-09-24 20:36:27 UTC  

Such as you buy a little tv streaming box that runs its UI on linux, and then your spergy little hacker son uses it to boot into a linux desktop and watch PornHub at 7fps.

2018-09-24 20:37:02 UTC  

Parents have no way of preconcieving that this would be possible with the right knowhow. Now you have a lawsuit on your hands

2018-09-24 20:38:47 UTC  

GPL3 is also known as viral -- they dont just want your changes, they want your full project if it uses any GPL code. Actually half the crowd disagrees on this and half attempts to verbally enforce it. So half the people using GPL3 dont even understand it

2018-09-24 20:48:09 UTC  

Disclaimer: I used to thronk GPL3 was a chill guy, now i'm just kinda stuck on it cause i like hacking GZDOOM src

2018-09-24 20:49:10 UTC  

a lot of businesses have zero-GPL policies, not even for output.

2018-09-24 21:22:09 UTC  

Is GZDoom still the most popular source port?

2018-09-24 21:22:36 UTC  

I've lost track, because there was just this point in time where you'd have a source port of the week.

2018-09-24 21:25:58 UTC  

ya Zdoom is no longer in dev

2018-09-24 21:26:16 UTC  

GZDoom is the best and most maintained and versatile modern source port

2018-09-24 21:27:26 UTC  

Chocolate Doom is still the best port for barebones-authenticity of the original games, and GZDoom is the best for heavy modding/hacking

2018-09-24 21:28:57 UTC  

although arguably for Boom-compatible mods, PRBoom+ will have much faster performance in OpenGL than GZDoom

2018-09-24 22:03:23 UTC  

I just want a legit source port of Blood. That's all I want.

2018-09-24 22:05:18 UTC  

how about a java port of blood <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

2018-09-24 22:13:34 UTC  

dont hold your breath of a source port of blood, as irr they have lost the code

2018-09-24 22:18:27 UTC  

that mod was a reverse engineered port the actual code is part mia

2018-09-24 22:19:25 UTC  

the fact that the build engine is open source did help them alot

2018-09-24 22:20:05 UTC  

did you know Build2 is out?

2018-09-24 22:20:23 UTC  

nope

2018-09-24 22:21:54 UTC  

BloodGDX is super

2018-09-24 22:22:19 UTC  

I havent tried Bloodgdx just cause i hate java 🤣

2018-09-24 22:22:22 UTC  

Although kinda trippy having to RMB a .jar file and choosing to run java on it

2018-09-24 22:34:34 UTC  

🇮🇷 🔫

2018-09-24 22:34:39 UTC  

but $20 says "muh russia" will continue

2018-09-24 22:35:34 UTC  

that sounds oddly familiar

2018-09-24 22:35:53 UTC  

I remember some posters on reddit whom only talked about how great Iran was

2018-09-24 22:36:10 UTC  

Even the way they wrote made it all seem like actual talking points

2018-09-24 22:37:33 UTC  

I remember some strange astroturfing on that "why westerners shouldn't wipe themselves" post

2018-09-24 22:38:49 UTC  

```Iranian imposter content on the anti-Trump subreddits like r/MarchAgainstTrump gained considerable traction. ```
